About the Film
“Natchez” captures an unsettling clash between history and memory in a small Mississippi town; a layered mosaic of people contending with the weight of the past in a place where it is always present.
Equal parts amusing and disturbing, we journey through an antebellum tourist destination at a crossroads as it grapples with a deeply troubled history that is so thoroughly ingrained in its present, we’re left to wonder if it’s actually past at all.
“The genteel politeness on display at the start of the film falls away, revealing an unsettling core” —HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
